Hi Sir,
I have a query with respect to the Act being followed in private companies. My wife's company during initial discussions mentioned that they follow maternity benefit act of 1961. But now they say for her to become eligible for the leave she has to work for a minimum of 160. But as per the maternity act it is only 80 days. She has currently worked 120 days. Is it possible for a company to set its on eligibility criteria in terms of minimum working days?
Thanks
Thomas
